Award scheme

Award schemes provide a way to stimulate activity and spread good practice at a local, national or even international level. They can be set up by any organisation from a local community group to an international agency.

The organisers establish the purpose of the scheme and assemble partners and sponsors.

An entry form is drafted setting out the themes, categories (if any), entry criteria, judging procedure and prizes and the scheme is widely publicised to attract entries.

Entries are judged and an award ceremony is held to focus publicity on the winning entry and the themes behind the awards.

Procedures are refined and the awards held on a regular, often annual, basis.

Securing an award, or even just being considered for an award, can generate publicity for a project which can help with funding and other support.
